We are Dutch owners. We fell in love with the Quinta da Saudade in 2005 and had many very relaxing as well as active holidays. We have travelled a lot over the world and find the Algarve one of the wold's most amazing places. So happy that we could buy a villa at the Quinta. We named it Casa Pura Vida, because Pura Vida (we learned it in Costa Rica) stands for enjoying the pure life. A feeling that we have at the Quinta.

The Quinta da Saudade is an authentic and charming former farm estate with some 25 holiday villas on a hill. Many guests return over and over again. The Quinta is reviewed by many guests as an authentic delight and quite unique. It has beautifully kept gardens full of palm, almond, olive and orange trees. An oasis of relaxation with 2 splendid pools, a kids pool and play ground, tennis court, mini golf, table-tennis, petanque, horse riding and an excellent restaurant with summer pool bar. The popular Salgados golf course is close. The beach Praia grande de Pera is also on walking distance (20 min). It is a magnificent long gold sandy stretch from Gale to Armacao de Pera. The large beach has quiet areas even in mid summer. There are also numerous small beaches throughout the area. The riding stables at the Quinta has fabulous horses that can be taken out for gallops across the dunes or slow trips through the country side. The Quinta is a 12 min. drive from the old town of Albufeira. 45 min. drive from Faro airport. While enjoying relaxation at the Quinta you are very centrally situated in the Algarve near the most beautiful beaches and cosy towns and villages.
